Exa Networks - Notice history

On Thursday, 23rd April at 7 pm, we will be upgrading all of the Exa-managed physical FortiGate firewalls to a newer stable release.

Our Networking team will carry out the work and ensure that all firewalls are back online and running following the maintenance.

If you have any issues following this work, please call our Helpdesk on 0345 145 1234, and the team will be happy to help.

If you encounter any issues after the work, please contact our Helpdesk, and we will be happy to help.

Our Services team has identified the root cause of this issue, and we will be deploying a fix at 17:30 today.

The deployment will require a restart of the service, so customers will be subject to downtime of up to 60 seconds.

We will shortly be releasing an update to the SurfProtect platform in relation to an issue with Google redirections from within Workspace and Gmail links.

We do not expect any downtime for SurfProtect customers during this maintenance window.
